And you would be wrong, in Italy coffee is almost never drunk while eating something salty. Actually is mostly drunk alone as its own dish, aside from breakfast
I'm imagining an italian fusion of country, where his pasta broke his heart, so his girlfriend broke it to make him feel better heart, which broke his heart again.
The italians invented lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos etc... most espresso based coffee finds its origin in Italy; it's just instant coffee and whatever it is Starbucks are doing that they tend to scoff at.
I think Americano was created by American GIs in Italy during WWI. They diluted espresso with hot water to make it more like traditional American coffee at the time.
There's also evidence of the term Cafe Americano in Central American Spanish.
Australia and New Zealand also have the long black which is like an Americano but you add the espresso over the water to maintain the crema and get a stronger flavor.
No. Some people get jittery when they have more than one or have a cup too late in the day. But 400 mg of caffeine is fine. That's four cups of coffee. Six or more a day can result in a rise in risk for cardiovascular disease. This could be considered not great, but a lot of other factors to into cardiovascular disease. So "quite bad" is quite a stretch.
The likelyhood that both people went on the internet to describe the same event in roughly the same format with similar specifics of phrasing (eg. "hooked her finger in my Pyrex dish") in the same order is very low. It's likely one is a directly based on/inspired by/referencing the other. That's how plagiarism is detected, and how people behave on the internet for internet points. You'd have to do more digging to figure out which one was first.
Similarly any given story on a forum, especially ones with clean narratives and high contrast characters, is likely just creative writing and not completely true. Some include enough details and evidence to make it plausible, and there's enough cases of authors owning up to their posts being an outlet for creative writing, so who knows. But with this one, the heightened gender and social outcast fantasy with an antisocial twist, reads like an average misanthropic 4chan poster doing some misogynistic daydreaming.
But again who knows. Just applying some healthy skepticism and reasoning.
This kind of overlap usually means they’re both talking about the same real incident. When multiple people share similar accounts spelled out with specific details, it makes it more plausible that something actually happened. Some healthy skepticism is good, but given the precise matches and consistency, it’s pretty reasonable to think these stories are probably based on real events, rather than that I made the 4chan one in photoshop after seeing this post
It's pretty common for people to write greentexts where they pretend to be the other person in a scenario and write from their point of view in order to point out how strange the behavior in the original post was. It's intended to be parody, not something you actually believe.
Yeah that is the weirdest way to flirt. If she touches you, that's more clear but touching your food is not really understood as a display of affection.
and then everyone else in the cafeteria clapped 🙄
No, but I did go to the principals office and they went to the nurse. That was over thirty years ago though.
Who the fuck drinks coffee while eating pasta
People who are trying to make the most of a lunch break
I’d probably guess the Italians
And you would be wrong, in Italy coffee is almost never drunk while eating something salty. Actually is mostly drunk alone as its own dish, aside from breakfast
And if you break this rule, THEY KILL YOU ON THE SPOT
It's almost as bad as breaking your spaghetti.

They drink espresso
*they drink espresso based coffees.

My dad. He drinks coffee with everything, including his coffee.
No tea? No tomato juice?
Nope. He barely ever drinks alcohol even.
Why not? You can even use some pasta as a straw
Coffee messes with iron absorption.
An adhd-haver who’s on their third cup of the day at lunch, and will have 3 more over the course of the afternoon.
Wait, what is a regular amount of coffee to drink?
For me? 2-6 cups over the course of the workday. But also note that I’m on prescription stims, so caffeine is just “more stims”
For me, 1 20 fl oz cup of coffee, for my gf, anywhere from half a pot to 2 pots a day, and she sleeps better than I do
0-1 cups/day. Anything more is quite bad for you.
No. Some people get jittery when they have more than one or have a cup too late in the day. But 400 mg of caffeine is fine. That's four cups of coffee. Six or more a day can result in a rise in risk for cardiovascular disease. This could be considered not great, but a lot of other factors to into cardiovascular disease. So "quite bad" is quite a stretch.
Do people really drink only one cup a day? Here I'm with my 4-8 cups per day
yes, 1 20 fl oz cup a day
That's like an espresso cup, right? I only know metric.
I just looked at the bottom of my cup, turns out it is .6L. I'm old enough that BOTH were being used simultaneously
I am too lazy to find sources, but I heard 500 mg is the limit (depending on weight and so on of course). That is around 5 coffees, give or take.
Me, 5 minutes ago. What's so special about pasta and coffee combo?
i will drink coffee with anything. yogurt, salad, chips and salsa, tofu, the list goes on.
I'd actually like to see someone try to slam their fist down on a table while drinking coffee without spilling.
You've got to suck really hard to leverage surface tension while fisting.
Pro move but it can be done
This guy sips and smashes!
Doesn't say how much liquid was in it, if there even was any.

is this real
Yes it's taken from 4chan. Not an AI image.
I love 😬 that we're now at the point where "is this real?" is ambiguous between:
And at this juncture with the common addition of "chat, is this real?" we can further add:
seems like AI tho
I mean, it's usually safe to assume no when it comes to greentext, but who knows. Definitely both of them aren't real.
source?

I'm just fucking with them bc I created the greentext they shared and they didn't notice lol
Edit: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/28917318
you know what they say about greentext
Yup, fake and also gay.
what is real if our eyes can't see how magnets work?
I have stabbed people with a fork for trying to touch my food.
I have stabbed no one because I'm not insane. Different strokes I guess
No it was not insanity, it was undiagnosed Autism in a poor rural community. This is why proper social support matters.
Now thats insanity
In the membranity
Edit: moving comment where it belongs.
tell me you never had your food stolen without telling me
Tell me you live in your head instead of the real world without telling me. You haven't, and will never stab someone over some missing lunch. Grow up
If it's on or near my plate I'm gonna try and eat it. It's called finger food for a reason.
Curious if this works where a woman is trying to stop a man touching her.
Might have to draw blood if the guy is really not responding to verbal warnings.
I really don't want any part of the dude in my mouth.
Yeah I think not threatening to bite is the way forward.
I'll wager a guess that the individual that won't listen to no may enjoy the "fight" and it won't go well
Yes I would bet that too. Every reaction is encouragement to some dickheads.
I've only ever thrown one person out of a ground floor window for that.
COWER BRIEF MORTALS
Out out, brief candle!
That definitely happened
Honestly? Those break room hostilities can get intense. I learned at a young age to not fuck with a salaried man's luncheon. I believe it.
Don't fuck with anyones food. Even animals get hostile.
Smashburger
Reheated McDonald's??
Delicious. Get you a double cheese from last night and nuke it for 30-45 seconds. Done and easy lunch.
Man, I wouldn't even eat that shit fresh. Are you from the US? I've heard their quality is better in other countries, but here it's disgusting.
You guys need to learn how to make a decent ham salad sandwich
Reheated maccas is absolutely foul
Rolled a nat 20 on intimidation.
she was just trying to flirt with OP and he freaked out and made it really weird... she as like
NOPE
and bailed
Nah touching someone's food is weird.
Yeah that is the weirdest way to flirt. If she touches you, that's more clear but touching your food is not really understood as a display of affection.
Right? Like just sit in my lap and pee a little like a normal person
[email protected]
Umm…
The irony is that doing that doesn't piss you off
I'd rather be pissed off than pissed on, but that's just me.
Even if they were trying to flirt, being told repeatedly not to do something that they keep doing anyway is not flirting.
For some people it is
They are people too, just like you and me
I think you need to learn how to flirt
By touching his food?
Everyone doesn't have those kinds of fetishes
There's the matter of consent if that were the case. Which she clearly didn't have.
Flirt? Nah, thats pure creep behavior.
